Great Package and Art from Neil Gordon

Neil sent an exciting package to me recently. (When ISN'T it exciting to get a big package??!! WHHHOoooOOHHooo!!)

Upon opening it I found two nice balls of yarn--just PERFECT for creating some DK Oracle™ bags for the Trashpo folks!! AND... some original art boekies that Neil created that incorporate doodles, character sketches, rubber stamps, and scratch notes. Several pages are like a bestiary of wormish-dragons. They're GREAT!!

The caché:

Boekie 1 (page-by-page):

Turkey stamps!!!! And another stamp of a tiny little girl holding... YES!! CORNCOBS!!!! That's what I call COBTASTIC!!!!

Boekie 2:

What do you get when you cross a turkey and a worm??...

...a turkey-headed worm-monster!!!

These were all just fantastic, Neil, and I had a blast oggling everything you included. THANK YOU for making my mail day!

I'm really looking forward to the DK Oracle Bags (D-KOBs).

Neil Gordon's sketch, collage, asemic pages are a wonder, received some myself not long ago. These are gold star.

Comment by DKeys on November 1, 2012 at 6:01pm: Very interesting glimpse into the mind of Neil Gordon. I'm particularly drawn to the 'happy birthday to me' note and all that doodling!! I wonder when Neil created all this doodling-was he waiting for something? great stuff Thom!
